follow up

carole over at strangelittlemama and amanda at wannabe (totally unrelated, but check out that adorable bag she bought recently on etsy, i love it!) sent in the pattern that i cast on for, twitterpated by zephyr style. the yarn i chose wasn't right, so i have to frog, but i am sure i have something in the stash to whip this up.

i am also liking this berroco lorraine pattern sent in by lori, who didn't send a link to her blog so i am assuming she probably doesn't have one. thanks lori!

for those who send their blog address i have added you all to my bloglines. now i can see what you are up to! thanks again everyone, i got close to 100 emails with so much great stuff.

so i have another favor - if you are from minneapolis, have been to minneapolis etc. and have any yarn shopping advice, it would be much appreciated. i see that there are a ton of shops there and several are open until 8 which is fantastic since i will be in training all day! i leave sunday for a work trip there (on my birthday - blasted!). i am going with a co-worker who is also a good friend so we should have some fun. the mall of america is on my must-do list and on his is the spot in which mary tyler moore throws up her hat at the beginning of the show (don't ask, i have never seen the show). my email is goodtobegirlATgmailDOTcom or leave a comment. oh, and technically we will be staying in eden prairie.

Hey lady! I am using Cascade Cotton Rich for mine and it's knitting up soooo nice. It's a nice cotton...not stiff and crunchy...it flows nicely. I'll post pics of progress maybe today. I still have to figure out which handles to use.

I LURVE my bag too...she also made me a custom pouch to put in it out of the same fabric for lipgloss etc. :)

Did you see the most recent Twitterpated bag she did? Wide ribbing (6x6, I think) for the body, cute-cute!!

Have a good trip...I'll cross my fingers that you can still manage to have some fun even though you're there for work.

OH! MY! GOD! you have never ever seen mary tyler moore? NEVER?!

you do know it's a classic show. show of shows. groundbreaking in a "young single woman strikes out on her own and makes a life for herself" kind of way.

wow, that's so weird that you've never seen the show.

hey have a good trip to Minneapolis by the way.

I second the vote for Depth of Field, and I also strongly recommend Needlework Unlimited (http://www.needleworkunlimited.com). It's in Edina, which is right by Eden Prairie. And it's near 50th and France which is a very fun little neighborhood to shop in. Their yarn selection is ginormous, and the staff is friendly -- Caryn from Fuzzy Noodle Knits works there. Have a fun trip!
